On the last day of the Munich Security Conference 2024, Torsten Kriening spoke with Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks about the demands for secure data communication and the current status of the Outernet development by Rivada Space Network.

With the OuterNET, consisting of 600 satellites, Rivada Space Networks wants to build a European communications network for companies and governments. The Handelsblatt journal editorial team learnt why this is necessary from Declan Ganley, CEO of the German satellite operator Rivada Space Networks.

A series of fireside chat style conversations between Rivada Networks host Brian Carney (SVP Corporate Communications) and guests bringing interesting insights on all things space and networking!

Rivada Networks’ CEO and Executive Chairman, Declan Ganley, considers the increasing convergence of terrestrial and satellite networks, and discusses the creation of Rivada’s OuterNET™, a secure, global communication network of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Will the OuterNET spark a new era of hyper-connected communication and what will the future of enterprise connectivity look like as a result?

Rivada Space Networks is partnering with Wiseband, an Emirati satellite services company, to bring secure connectivity solutions to the Middle East region.

Thai Aerospace Industries (TAI), an aerospace and aviation services company headquartered in Bangkok, is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to bring highly reliable and secure connectivity services to the commercial, military and general aviation sectors in Thailand and beyond.

Tekniam, a US based company providing emergency connectivity for disaster response and recovery, is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to use The OuterNET to provide a resilient and easy to deploy network that saves lives and livelihoods when normal communications fail.

Globalsat Group a global provider of mission-critical satellite and wireless connectivity solutions is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to provide access to a unique next-generation data network for customers in the energy, government, NGO, agriculture, utilities and transportation sectors throughout the Americas and beyond.

2023 was quite a year for the companies with heavy bets in Low-Earth Orbit. Eutelsat completed its deal for OneWeb. Amazon launched its prototype satellites for Project Kuiper. Telesat swapped manufacturers to move forward with its Lightspeed network. Starlink continued to launch satellites at a dizzying rate. Add to that new players such as E-Space and Rivada are also looking to make an impact as the world seems to be going LEO.
